Essay read by Miss Lueile Coyinston,
March Z, Regular Mondays Exercise in Lea
Female College.
The rose has been crowned
queen of the flowers, and perhaps
the title has never been bestowed
more appropriately. In its depths
are found the loveliest tints Of
nature, blended with the most de-
lightful fragrance. In the three
stages of its developement, some
of the most beautiful machinery
of nature is employed.
First comes the tiny bud. Every
day nourishment is given and the
bud gradually develops until thy
rose is half open. 1t is still a bud.
but what difference. The tiny
green cup has relaxed its grasp,
and the petals have become
sufficiently large to show what a
beauty it will be. Each day adds
something to its growth, And
some morning we look at the rose,
only to see some of the petals
lying on the ground shriveled and
limp, but still sending forth their
delicious scent to remind us that
though the rose is. dying, it still
retains something of its beauty.
AT an exhibition, in a picture
gallery, there was placed a picture
of young girl with beautiful
face, reaching up after half oper
rose bud,-it was called ''Rec
Roses" There was another; j
represented a woman holding ;
bunch Of full blown roses in he
hand. The face of the womal
was the same as that of the girl
This was entitled, ''Full Blow
Roses. -
What beautiful and striking

1t reaches from pole to pole, and
encircles the earth like a golden
band.
Her influence is the power that
moves the engine. We see it, in
its blrth-place-the home. Sisters
exert it over brothers; wives, over
husbands; and most of all, mothers
over children. 1t is found in all
places of amusements, in tn e
courts of all lands, and in all places
of worship. For the occupants Of
these places were once children
with their future in d mould, with
their mothers an sisters for
moulders. The men will be, as
the boys were moulded. AS the
women discharge their duties, 50
will the lives Of the men be; ior
men are but boys grown tall.
Influence will not only oe felt
BY the male portion of the house,
but BY the other sex as well. The
daughters and grand-daughters
are very likely to be as the mothers
and grand-mothers. Yet it i
generally believed mothers in

Lent and the adjournment Of
Congress have made a great calm
in the erst-while busy social world
Of the Capital. The change il
especially noticeable at the White
House, which has been the scene
of almost constant and brilliant
official hospitalities since the begin
ming Of the season. It's mistress,
(since the departure of her mother
and death Of her grandmotber)
has spent most of the time at their
country home, to which the presi-
dent drives after the duties of the
day are over, returning in the
morning.
Mrs. Cleveland is a remarkably
amiable woman, and she has con-
stant need Of this attribute in her
present position. Every day dur
lug the past winter she received
quantities of notes, cards, letters,
and everything else in the shape
Of communication, and, as a
young lady visiting at the White
House at that time remarked, "she
really tried to answer them all. -

Let the People Of Pike ccme TO the front
and show by their works the faith that
is in them.
The people Of Pike County
should, more than the people Of
any other county, appreciate the
real meaning and purpose Of the
agricultural, horticultural and
mechanical fair, that is to be
held in Summit as soou as the
necessary arrangements can be
made. They should feel a vital,
personal interest in its success,
aud give not only their money,
bnt their enthusiastic moral sup
port to the enterprise.
The convention Of Dairymon
and Fruit growers held in Jacks

the North to the vast resources Of
the South and 10 tho wonderful
possibilities for producing butter
and cheese, small fruits and

Il is related that . belated stranger
staying all night at . farmers noticed
that . slender little girl. by her gentle
ways. had . great influence in the house.
She seemed to be a bringer of peace
and good will to the rough ones in
the household. She had power over ami
mails also. a. the following shows: The
farmer was going to town next morning.
and agreed to take the stranger. Tne
family came out to see them start. The
farmer gathered up the reins. and, with
jerk. said: "Dick. 90 'long!" But Dick
didn't .'go long" The whip cracked
about the ponys ears. and he shouted:
'.Dick. you rascal, get up" 1t availed
not. Then down came the whip with
heavy hand. but the stubborn beast only
shook his head silently. A scout lad
came out and seized the bride, and pulled
and yanked and kicked the rebeIlious
pony, but not step would he move. At
this crisis . sweet voice said: ''Willie. don't
do So" The voice was quickly recog-
nized. And now the magic hand was laid
upon the neck Of the seemingly incorri-
gible animal. and single low word was
spoken. Instantly the rigid muscles re-
laxed, and the air of stubbOrness van
ished. Poor Dick, said the sweet voice.
and she stroked and patted softly his
neck with the child-like hand. ..Now 60
long. YOU naughty fellow" in q half
chiding. but in . tender voice a. she
drew slightly ON the bride. The pony
turned and rubbed his head against her
arm for . moment and started on at a
cheerful trot, and there was no further
trouble that day. The stranger remarked
to the farmer: ''What q wonderful
power that hand Possesses" The re-
ply Was: ''Oh she is gNod- Everybody
and every thing loves her. ."-Humass
Jouynol
